What We Are Growing: A Northeast Texas Cool-Season Garden Guide

Cool-season gardening gives Northeast Texas growers a chance to produce an impressive range of roots, leafy greens, herbs, and alliums when temperatures are milder.

Roots and Alliums

Radishes, beets, carrots, green onions, onions, shallots, and similar crops can form the backbone of a productive cool-season garden. Succession planting can help extend the harvest rather than producing everything at once.

Leafy Greens

Kale, spinach, chard, arugula, mustard greens, Tokyo Bekana, lettuce mixes, and Salanova-style lettuces offer variety for salads, cooking, and market-style harvests.

Cool-Season Herbs

Cilantro, dill, and parsley fit naturally into the cool-season kitchen garden and pair beautifully with ranch meats, eggs, vegetables, sauces, soups, and preserved foods.

Growing With the Table in Mind

Our garden planning starts with a simple question: what do we actually want to eat and share? That farm-to-table mindset helps connect planting decisions with the ranch kitchen and the products we hope to offer over time.
